The Jack Of All Trades

The week is turning into one crazy and weird one and it's only Wednesday. What did I do to deserve such a fate? Why me? Haven't I been a good little boy so far? I haven't done anything evil or mischievous for months, well, lets not count dumping that booger into my clients drink last week ... hehehe ...

Actually I'm not the only one whose week is turning out bad. My boss is also having a pretty lousy week so far. Practically everyone (which wasn't much to begin with) has decided to quit working here! Yes, quit for no apparent reasons and some with some pretty strange reasons even. We're not a huge company, just enough people to make the operations run smoothly and when even one takes off, it cogs the system some.

Right now, including my boss, her driver and me, there is only one other staff left and that is going to be a huge problem for us right now. I have absolutely no idea why the heck they all decided to up and leave and neither does my boss. I've just got a new project from my banking client and with no staff, that is going to be a great big problem for me. Darn, I must have done something really bad in my previous life.

Ok, before you all go saying that maybe the staff are not happy working here, the pay is lousy (well, in a way it is), the boss is fierce (only when you screw up, but then so is every boss), the planet mars is not in conjunction with Venus or something, the working environment here is pretty flexible and not really that stressful so it's come as a total shock to me for this to happen. As long as you do and complete your work, you can do pretty much anything at all and the boss is okay with it, even blog ... hehehe ...

There was no sign of any of this happening at all. When work started on Monday, one of the girls didn't turn up for work, but that was not something unusual cos she tends to do that quite a bit. As usual, she doesn't answer her cell, which is also nothing new. We're used to her ways. So we let that be. But until today she has not returned to work!

Then, a little later in the afternoon, another 2 guys who just came back from some appointments, decided to leave all their office stuff on the reception table and walk out. No reasons given, no explanations, nothing. They leave just like that. Things are beginning to start looking weird.

Then yesterday, another girl decides not to come in saying she needed to settle some accident matters that she had a few weeks back with the police. She was supposed to come back to work in the afternoon but she never turned up (which wasn't all that surprising with the way the police department works over here). But calling her cell to find out turned out to be useless cos she never answered.

Ok, guess she's not going to come back for the day. Never mind. Then today, she texts my boss saying that her husband has restricted her from working and has confiscated her car keys, house keys and everything. WTF? That has to be the weirdest story I've ever heard in my lifetime and I've pulled some gems before.

I'm already suffering as it is. There is practically no one in the office except for my other colleague and he has stuff to do outside. So I'm stuck in the office today playing the parts of a clerk and receptionist on top of my own load of work which has now just quadrupled. This is crazy, really crazy. I'm still in utter shock that everyone just decides to leave at the same time.

And on top of that, my car repair bills is just sky rocketing. The car still isn't fixed yet and the mechanic says he needs to change this and that and also that, oh and not forgetting this too, and it looks like the cost is going to sky rocket from its initial quote. I'm probably going to be eating grass next month. Wait a minute, I am already eating grass!

Maybe I should seriously look into getting a new credit card or something. I'm sure there are a lot of balance transfer cards that I could look for out there, something that will give me a better deal with an even better credit limit with reasonable interest rates to help out in times like these. And I know just where to look to compare credit cards online. None other than Better-Credit.com! They have loads of data on credit cards that you can run a comparison on just which one would suit your needs perfectly. I'm definitely going to check them out.

What a week it's turning out to be. I'm hoping nothing more serious happens anytime soon cos I don't think I could take anymore crap like this. I'm on the verge of exploding and screaming my lungs out but I suppose that wouldn't really do much good would it? I'm going to post this now, go outside and take some long deep breaths and then come back in and continue whatever work I have that's piling up already. I hope you guys are having a much better week than I am.
